  1. How did reading Mordecai Gorelik's "Pictures and Platforms" chapter help you understand the significance of what was going on, production-wise, in Fifteen Strings of Cash? Conversely, how did reading Fifteen Strings of Cash help illuminate Gorelik's contrast between "illusory" and "conventional" approaches to staging drama?

  2. What role does gesture play in Fifteen Strings of Cash (and, by extension, the approach to staging drama that it represents)? How important is it relative to, say, dialogue?
